Aim and Scope
Comprehensive coverage of experimental and clinical toxicology research.
Defining Excellence in Toxicology Publishing
Experimental and Clinical Toxicology publishes original research, reviews, and clinical studies spanning the complete spectrum of toxicological science—from molecular mechanisms and dose-response relationships to clinical management and regulatory applications.
Our journal seeks to publish research that advances understanding of toxic substance effects on biological systems while maintaining relevance for regulatory scientists and clinical practitioners. We emphasize translational research bridging laboratory discoveries with regulatory applications, clinical toxicology practice, and public health protection.
Experimental and Clinical Toxicology serves as a vital platform for disseminating cutting-edge findings in the field, encompassing a wide range of toxicological studies and providing valuable insights into the mechanisms, effects, and management of toxic substances across environmental, occupational, pharmaceutical, and clinical contexts.

Emerging Topics: We actively seek research on computational toxicology, QSAR modeling, high-throughput screening, organ-on-chip technologies, exposure science advances, and precision toxicology approaches that advance predictive capabilities.
Original Research
Novel findings from experimental or clinical toxicology investigations with rigorous methodology and clear interpretation.
Reviews
Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and authoritative narrative reviews synthesizing current evidence.
Methods Papers
Novel methodological approaches for toxicity testing, biomarker detection, or analytical procedures.
Case Reports
Detailed clinical toxicology cases with educational value and unusual presentations.
We particularly encourage submissions with clear translational relevance, connecting basic toxicology research with regulatory applications, clinical practice, or public health policy. Research informing risk assessment methodologies, safety evaluation standards, and exposure guidelines provides immediate value for protecting human health.
